Cuddly Bear

We have been doing the "Ferber Method" on Jack  for the past couple of weeks in an attempt to gain some control of his sleeping habits...."Ferberizing" him as they call it. It is just a modified version of the "let them cry it out" philosophy.  I have to say, it is the hardest thing that I have ever had to do.  Listening to my baby cry just tears me apart. But, I am happy to report that it is working wonderfully.  Jack has learned to sooth himself and fall asleep on his own! He is now getting his needed 13-15 hours a sleep per day and sleeping about 11 hours a night with only one feeding!  One night last week, we just could not let him cry, so we broke the rules and brought him in to bed to cuddle.  Now look at that cutie.....
